years ago is but the laughing stock Of the
present generation was oronsht promi
nehtly before the audience, and the pre-
diction made that 1000 years hence
much OF orr present science would be re-

lie then spoke of the glory and grand
eur OF those who reach the kingdom
Of God. John the Baptist was the CREST
est man born Ct woman, but the least in
the kingdom OF heaven was greater thsn
he. The 8udience was advised to resd
the scriptures. especially Isaiah iii. and
Psalms xii, sud they woulG see how in
t!msteiy history and prophesy are blended
together.
The above is Only brief outline Of the
FIRST part OF the Bishops very able dis
course, but it will suffice to show the
drift OF his remsrke, which to be appre-
clated should have been heard. The ser
mon was SO logical and thoroughly linked
together that no synopsis can 30 it lus-
tice. His concluding remarks to his
brethren il the ministry were delivered
in that teeliugly patsrnal manner that
brought forth many hearty "Amens" from
those whom he addressed.

fact that the drama has been better pat
ronized OF late all over the country than
any other character of plays. 1t is healthy
sign"
"May Task what has been your success
so far on your southern tour?"
"We have done excellently. Much
better than we expected in
most instances. have had
large houses IN oil the southern
cities which have visited, and this too,
in the face of the most discouraging re-
ports from this section, before starting.
1 may be pardoned for INDUCING in some
fluctuations over the iact;tha: while the
outlook was uninviting in the extreme,
we have been much more successful than
full than even managers anticipated. This
is encouraging; You see the box receipts
make an admirable criterion"
"SpeakiDg about actors: Tell me who
are the first to discover merit In youthful
ssDirants, the pubic, the critics or the
brother actors themselves"
"Well, may say, in all candor, that
the best auditor in the world is an actor,
because he understands the difficulties
and obstacles to be surmounted better
than any other man; the critics
give Us some excellent hints st times, but
an actor would be but poorle engaged
did he attempt 10 regulate his efforts by
what the critics say. Critics are falliole
like all other mortsls, and what is verse,
they DO not often arrive at the same
conclusions or form the same estimates.
Ga the whole, think financial success is
about as good barometer as can be
used, though it is sordid view. Chance
and fashion are powerful factors. The
best company in the world may have to
play to empty benches this yesr, and next
be all the rage. Like in all things else,
there are ups and downs"
The conversation lasted long and this
scribe could fill page with interesting
information gathered from it but must
leave the readers of THE GAZETTE see for
themselves tonight what manner of man
is Mr.. Keene and judge for themselves OF

they Got Into the Wrong Envelope Scme-
how and Thsre WAS Trouble.
New York Letter to Rich mond Dispatch.
It Is p bad practice to write several
letters Ct one Job, ipcIose them in en-
velopes and address the batch. Many
accidents occur. A gentleman who uses
pencil for lis correspondence, but makes
the supeTscriptions in ink, wrote three
epistles, secured them in envelopes
and laid them in order on
his desk. The first was bis
mother in-law, the second To
his latest and best girl, and the last 20
his tailor. Discovering that the ink was
absent in the stand, he LIFT his desk for 2
moment. A clerk in search Of ruler
took up the top letter that lsy upon the
ruler, and put it below the missive il.
tended for the tailor. Back came the
complete letter-writer. He addressed
letter first in the row TO his mother-in-
lag, the nexs to Maud, and the mis-
Placed epIstle to the tailor. At 4
O'Clock that afternoon mill
tary-looking female, sitting be-
side TN Invalid daughter, got black
IN the lace as she read on the stamped
psper OF the son-in-law: "Baby mine

At the moment that Maud was imagin

woman was making bet toilet to 60 down
town, Georges tailor studied this docu-
ment with dszad expression: "Kindest

tional League of Amsrica.
LINCOLN, NEB Nov. 13.-John Fitz-
gerald, President of the Irish National
League of America, has issued special
call supplementary to that lately issued
by Treasurer O'Rielly OF Detroit. Presi-
dent FitZgerald's call is addressed to the
wealthy class OF Irish in America for q
generous effort in sid OF the Irish cause.
La this call he says: ''If it were England

lied sons within thirty days 1000 English
men would be found in America who
would not hesitate to subscribe thousands
of dollars each. We have 1890 Irishmen
and Irish Americans who could do
the same, and Ireland on her
knees and in chains begs for that
sasncial aid without which she mus:
die" President Fitzgerald then makes an
appeal for necessary aid, and referring TO
the roll of honor mentioned by DR..
O'Reilly in his call says, "Musr this roll
contain but the names of the Drawn work
ers, who for years have given Of their
scsnty time and means sll that has been
asked for By Ireland in her long and wesry
fghl?" He adds, "Ireland asks from
1000 Irishmen and Irish-Americans or
this continent from $500 to $1,000 apiece
Providence having given me the means tc
respond to this call, and being deslrous
to do myself that which expect from
others, enter my name upon the roll FOL
